00:00It's very normal in our culture that you always have someone asking for reggaeton.
00:05If it's a party of no reggaeton, there's always a girl or someone like, put some reggaeton, DJ!
00:17We spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico. We wanted to make a song for the island,
00:22to dedicate it to the island, because it's been very special for us.
00:26For the first time, we were kind of experimenting with the urban sound, with the reggaeton root, in a way.
00:32And not just only with the production of the song, but in terms of the lyrics,
00:37how explicit and how sexuality meets culture.
00:48What we are saying is like, I want a orico, I want to move to PR,
00:51and I want her to eat me like they eat the R's.
00:54I find that so beautiful. I love how they eat the R's.
00:58It's kind of like a lazy thing.
00:59It's too complicated to say the R's.
01:02It's our way to express how beautiful and how grateful we are,
01:07that we have so many Boricuas in the world that eat the R's.
01:16We say that she knew about us with Who Brings the Speakers.
01:20Our album is called, Quien Trae Las Cornetas.
01:23But in Puerto Rico, cornetas is not a word that they use, they use bocinas.
01:27And me pide que la palta, que la palta patica, que la palta aguacate la palta.
01:34Que la palta, que la palta, que la palta aguacate la palta.
01:39Then she asked me to break her, to the pata, to sexually, you know.
01:43But also, a palta, it comes from the verb, partir, which is to break.
01:48In Puerto Rican accent, they sort of switch it for an L.
01:53So it's palta, which in the south means avocado.
01:56Que la palta aguacate la palta.
01:57It's like a play of words on top of a play of words.
02:00And you have to put the patica así.
02:02Que la palta.
02:02Yeah, you need to, yeah.
02:03If you don't do it, it doesn't work.
02:05No, seriously, like they told us.
02:07You have to.
02:10En Venezuela, el bicho, bicho, bicho, le decimos huevo, huevo, huevo.
02:16Venezuelans, we use bicho, you could say, este bicho, this bicho did this, this person.
02:21But also you could say like, pasame el bicho.
02:23Also you can say like, that person is a bicho, like it could be negative.
02:27Or you can say like, also bugs are bichos.
02:29Also bugs are bichos.
02:30It's also contextual and that's very common in Latin America, but this is ours.
02:34This is ours.
02:36In Puerto Rico, bicho is penis.
02:37Every time we go to Puerto Rico and we say bicho, bicho, bicho, for them in their head,
02:42it's kind of like penis, penis, penis.
02:44Yeah, it's like, pasame el bicho.
02:46Take it off.
02:46They're like, what?
02:48Come again?
02:48No, chingamos, gamos, gamos.
02:51Nosotros cojemos.
02:52Emo.
02:53Emo.
02:53When they, they, how do you say when they, when they?
02:56Chichan.
02:56Si, o sea, when they fuck.
02:59Yeah.
03:00They call it chichar, che, no, o chingar, o chichar, no?
03:04Si, chingar.
03:05They, they, they use both.
03:07In Mexico they use chingar.
03:07But we say coger o tirar, so we choose coger in this one.
03:10It was like, we are just like explaining our Venezuelan perspective of chichar and coger.
03:16So yeah, the verse is basically translating like keywords that were very important for the cultural inter-exchange, you know?
03:25Yeah, we've, we've, we really take a lot of care about the cultural exchange in this one.
03:42Guineo is banana, but we call it cambur.
03:44I love a ponceña from the south, that is a town.
03:47A one from Cabo Rojo or Maya West, that is like west.
03:52And then we're going, we're going to another beach all together, the three of us.
03:55It makes more sense in Spanish, you know? It has a certain flow to it.
04:05In Venezuela we use malandreo, that is kind of like, it's a hard place in a way.
04:10Kind of sketchy, dangerous.
04:11And Yoren you find a lot of the trap culture and you know, Yoren is very interesting.
04:16But also like, we don't use malianteo, they use malianteo, we use malandreo.
04:22Las de Guaynabo is a more like a, let's say.
04:26Like upscale hood.
04:27They have a way to refer to people that live in that hood.
04:32When we say in Venezuela that someone is a,
04:35from that same part of the, of the city or of the country, we call it freseo.
04:40Pero todas se ponen bellaquitas con Joel y Randy en el Choliceo.
04:44They all go together to the Choliceo, that is a very important venue to perrear with Joel y Randy.
04:50That's something that happens and it doesn't matter where are you from,
04:54they all go bellaquitas to perrear to El Choli.
04:57We've been like five times in Joel and Randy shows at Choliceo and that's intense people.
05:02It's one of the best concerts that I've been, that's why we, I go often.
05:05Every time that they do a Choliceo, I go, that's crazy.
05:09Como me encanta un perreo, y si es contigo que la creo.
05:14Baby, no es la chocha, ni el culo, en el nie, hoy hay un jangueo.
05:18El nie is that, you know, like you have, you have the pussy and you have the ass.
05:23It's that thing in the middle.
05:25But also, let me explain this, it's that skin in the middle.
05:29That's el nie, porque nie es el, el, ni esto ni lo otro.
05:33It's not one thing or the other.
05:35But in Puerto Rico, there's a place that is called el nie, that I love it.
05:38It's a venue.
05:40It's a venue, it's a bar.
05:41In Sundays, they have perreo Sundays, I think they call it like that.
05:45So in a way, we're playing double sense there.
05:48Literally, we're saying like physical parts of the body.
05:51But also, it's like there's a jangueo in el nie.
05:54So we're going to end up in el nie.
05:58It's not in the pussy or in the ass, it's in el nie.
06:01No, I think that's a, like, nobody should be thinking about that.
06:06About that, yeah.
06:07The Gucci guys.
06:09That's, that's why Gucci actually.
06:12That's it.
06:12Ha, ha, ha.
